About Florence

Florence is the city where the Renaissance happened and where its physical evidence is more concentrated than anywhere else on earth — in a walkable historic centre barely two kilometres across. The contradiction is that for all its world-class museums, the most Florentine experience is standing in a local trattoria eating bistecca and drinking rough Chianti, in a city that has been doing exactly that for six hundred years. Come in May or October when the crowds thin slightly and the olive-green Tuscan hills around the city glow in perfect light.

✈️ Getting there

FLRFlorence Airport Amerigo Vespucci (Peretola)

📍 6 km⏱ 20 min🚌 Tram (T2)🚌 Bus (SITA/Flixbus)🚕 Taxi

The T2 tram line connects the airport directly to Santa Maria Novella station (central Florence) in about 20 minutes for €1.70 — it's cheap, reliable, and avoids taxi queues entirely. Trams run every 4-5 minutes.

Florence's compact, single-terminal airport handles around 3 million passengers per year — small enough to be quick and painless, with Ryanair, easyJet, Volotea, and Vueling as the main low-cost operators alongside ITA Airways.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Florence — beyond the tourist trail.

🥩Order a bistecca alla Fiorentina at Buca Mario or Trattoria Mario — a thick-cut T-bone from Chianina beef, served blue-rare (the Florentines consider anything more cooked an insult). Order it by weight (minimum 800g for two), and accept that it will arrive without sides unless you ask. This is the signature dish of the city.

🌄Walk up to Piazzale Michelangelo 30 minutes before sunset for the panoramic view over Florence and the Arno — it's the classic postcard shot but genuinely moving. Then continue up the steps behind it to San Miniato al Monte church, which has an even better view with almost none of the crowds.

🎨Book Uffizi Gallery tickets at least 3-4 weeks ahead (€20 + booking fee) for a timed entry slot. Arrive at your booked time, skip the Botticelli room immediately (everyone stops there), and go first to the room with Leonardo's Annunciation and Adoration of the Magi — you'll have it almost to yourself for 20 minutes before the crowd rotates in.

🌿Cross the Arno into Oltrarno — the artisans' quarter on the south bank that most day-trippers miss entirely. Walk along Via Maggio and the streets around Piazza Santo Spirito to see working leather workshops, antique restorers, and the neighbourhood bars where actual Florentines eat lunch. The square has a morning market and excellent aperitivo spots.

🍦Get gelato from Gelateria dei Neri (Via dei Neri, near Santa Croce) — not the places with towering fluorescent mounds of gelato on display, which are tourist traps. Real gelato is kept in covered steel pots; it's less photogenic and far superior. Ask for a small cup rather than a cone and try the ricotta and fig, or dark chocolate with salt.
